I support the Kickstarter project for new A1200 cases, and if successfull, it will be able to house the MIST, a Raspberry Pi, and the Keyrah USB-A1200 keyboard adapter all within a fancy colourful new A1200 case, and maybe even a new keyboard may appear

Today I made an ARexx script that updates the system time of the Amiga from the Pi, and I am pondering on picking up more ARexx coding together with DOpus Magellan again, I should be able to let DOpus communicate with a dedicated shell environment on the Pi, to manage filesystems the Pi has access to, do upload/download etc.

Also, I have been thinking... Instead of using a USB ethernet dongle to provide an ethernet interface for the Amiga or AtariST, how about using one of those ARM based "computer on a USB stick" systems (like this one http://inversepath.com/usbarmory for example), that can provide USB-ethernet, USB-RS232, USB-audio, USB-storage etc, so in _principle_ one could plug one into a MIST and with a lot of tinkering, have Amiga or AtariST with ethernet and/or much improved (I would think) serial port (with null modem link to a tty device in the other end), extra storage, a sound card... heck, some of these systems-on-stick thingies have HDMI output, so why not RTG over USB, hehehe, ehm... one can dream

Yes, only 3 tiny cables - TX-RX, RX-TX and ground. Be aware that this is only safe because both Pi and MIST are modern and use 3.3V and not 5V. If you want to connect to a real serial port, you need a RS232 leveler like a MAX3232 etc. in addition to the 9 pin DSUB.

My long term plan is to replace this cable with a tiny switch that lets me select between the MIDI module and a Bluetooth controller that will give me wireless null-modem.
